OpenAI has launched a new social app that features unsettling deepfakes of CEO Sam Altman, raising concerns about the implications of such technology on personal privacy and misinformation. Users are both intrigued and alarmed by the app's capabilities, which could potentially blur the lines between reality and artificial content. Experts warn about the ethical ramifications of harnessing deepfake technology in social media environments.
The House of Representatives passed the "Take It Down" Act, aimed at addressing the growing problem of deepfake technology and its impact on privacy and personal safety. The legislation empowers individuals to request the removal of non-consensual deepfake content from online platforms, highlighting the need for protective measures in the digital age.
